Located in O Valado, in the parish of Bueu. Until mid-19th century it was a Romanesque church, that disappeared when they built the current temple in the same place in 1865. All the materials from the old church were used in the building of the new one, especially the foundation. In fact, when the new roof was built in 1974, some characteristic stones from the Romanesque temple were found. The church has three naves and a rectangular-shaped apse. The main façade faces East, contrary to most of the churches, because of the area’s orography. It is of Neo-classical style and presents a very compartmented front with different reliefs. Here we must highlight a sober triangular pediment and the bell tower, with an opening on every side.
